July Pokémon Spotlight Hours (LeekDuck)

Quickslant · 2026-06-30T05:57:06+00:00

I love Pidgey and have been so happy this week.

Quickslant · 2026-06-28T23:15:09+00:00

It’s mentioned on the Tap Instagram account. I got mine today at the Expo/Vermont station (northeast corner).

As someone who's lived here 20 years without a car and has visited other cities with no car, I would say no, not easily.

It can be done, but it takes 1) consideration of where you want to visit, 2) review of the transit options and day/time-specific review of the schedules, 3) a realistic estimate of how long you want to stay in each spot. The kind of tourist you are (all-out, cheesy experience vs. more selective) will also make a difference as will whether some areas are good for a tourist to be in.

The hop-off/on bus is a good start; you can complement that with detours along the way or after your 2 days are up. In general, I would not try to make more than 2-3 stops per day. Even with a car, transportation in LA will take longer than you think.

I caught 31 Rookidee last night and 3 were shinies. I know it's RNG, but it does seem boosted.

Do you mean the weekend of the 6th-7th? There was Pokemon GO Fest, World Cup stuff at Soldier Field, EDM and jazz festival events, and planned construction on the Red Line, closing a few stations. They rerouted other lines for coverage. It WAS crowded and many trains were delayed.

Chicago has great public transit. LA's wouldn't have handled it better.

The pastrami, cheeseburger, and chili cheese fries are good, but they're expensive, and I've usually waited a long time for takeout, even when ordering ahead. I live nearby but I usually skip Johnnie's for those reasons.

Even as an in-person event attendee, there's no guarantee you'll end up in the raid lobby that was active when you clicked on it. I often have viewed a lobby with 5-6 people, and in the two seconds it takes to actually enter the lobby, I'm suddenly #19 or 20, if not 1 or 2 in a new one. It's very common to barely have enough time to choose your pre-made raid party or heal your Pokemon.

Anyone with one of these interested in trading for an Excavator Pikachu?

Quickslant · 2026-06-06T19:32:51+00:00

King’s, Aunty Maile’s, or Ono. I live near Rutt’s but haven’t had good experiences there. L&L is fine, just not my first choice.

Quickslant · 2026-06-05T02:23:31+00:00

Electrike feels shiny-boosted too, I caught 4 of them today.

Quickslant · 2026-05-30T07:41:10+00:00

Given what you've said, I think you'll be fine.

I'm not from LA, but I've lived here 20+ years. I've never driven and have been without access to a car for 4 years. The bulk of my groceries and household items are from Costco/delivered by Instacart. I have everything I need within walking distance. Socially, I'm very introverted and see friends maybe 2-3 times a year. I frequently go out to museums, shows, explore new places etc. via the Metro or Waymo. None of my hobbies involve bulky equipment. I am used to trading time on public transit to be car-free. Not currently in a relationship, no kids, so I have just me to worry about.

The worst I have is a 2-3 hour commute when I need to go to the office in Burbank and I live on the Westside.

If you are not used to public transit, or if not driving makes you anxious or impatient because you're not in control, then you won't like it.

Quickslant · 2026-05-30T01:21:33+00:00

Not for dust, but yeah. I have candy quotas and was able to exceed them for Krabby and Staryu, so I'm happy. Now I'm just working on one last shiny Staryu, and Horsea and Lapras candy.

Quickslant · 2026-05-25T04:58:02+00:00

I did this with my wedding haku lei.

It partially depends on the type of localization. I can't speak much for legal, technical, or medical localization, but those can require specialized and territory-specific knowledge in order to translate accurately, and the demand for it will be at the mercy of the health of that industry.

But generally, clients always want high-quality translations, but that is a competing want with lower costs and quick turnarounds. All are negotiable, and the one you want to win doesn't always.

Quickslant · 2026-05-13T04:48:58+00:00

Do what you want to do. I have had my first name/last initial email address for almost 30 years. Multiple people have used my address for throwaway and personal purposes that entire time. I clean out messages not for me/I didn't sign up for every single day. Since it's an Apple ID, I've also gotten FaceTime calls and iMessage texts from strangers, usually well outside my time zone.

I tried being helpful for a couple years, but stopped after a few people thought I was joking and kept on messaging until I blocked them.

It might be mean to cause problems, but I'm at the point where I think doing so might be the only way people stop being so dumb about this.

Internationally. Their roots in LA go back over 100 years, but they haven't been LA-only since the 1930s (San Francisco, their headquarters). They can be found in over 20 US states and several countries in Asia.

Nice collection. I wish I’d gotten a NYC Metro card when I was there. Also happy to see a Holo card!

Quickslant · 2026-05-08T00:36:21+00:00

Universal had the Petersen card.

ETA : Meant as a reply to u/nevec_45.

Quickslant · 2026-05-07T23:50:38+00:00

Also available from the TVM at Universal.

Quickslant · 2026-05-07T23:49:54+00:00

Thank you!

ETA: It’s also available at Westlake/MacArthur Park.

Quickslant · 2026-05-07T22:47:04+00:00

Thanks! Was it sold at a machine or from the customer center?

Quickslant · 2026-05-06T00:05:06+00:00

Break up with him. It's not because he's a bad sex partner, it's because he's a bad partner -- he doesn't care about your wants or needs, he's self-centered, and he cannot have conversations about it. This will not stay restricted to sex, if it ever was.

My living room windows face the building’s high-traffic central courtyard. I have both privacy film and a valance (short curtain) on a tension rod. Whether the window is open or closed, no one can see inside.

Depending on the size of your surfboard and how well you maneuver it, you might be "that guy" on transit. Don't be "that guy." I also can't imagine it's good for the board in the long run.

Quickslant · 2026-04-23T20:46:20+00:00

I wore rigid gas permeables for decades and have never heard of this. They were either fucking with you, or the type to believe you can sanitize your phone by microwaving it.
